PRIMATES | Vivir entre babuinos, crueldad, S3xo , mitos - WONDERVERSO #4 - Laura Camón

In this episode of The Wonderverse, I'm joined by Laura Camón, primatologist and science communicator specializing in primates, to talk about one of the most fascinating and surprising groups in biology: baboons and other primates. Why do baboons have red, hairless bottoms? How do their complex societies function, and what traits does a male need to become dominant? Throughout this podcast, you'll discover whether baboon hierarchies are hereditary, how they transmit knowledge across generations, and whether we can truly speak of cultural learning in primates. We also explore a fascinating topic: do baboons have different dialects or languages ​​depending on the region they live in? Laura will share real-life experiences from her fieldwork, from attacks and confrontations with baboons to stories that leave a lasting impression. We discuss predators, the surprising ability of baboons to confront leopards, and even whether they could prey on humans. And as extra tidbits, we delve into topics like primate bullying, what groups do when an individual dies, why the proboscis monkey has such a peculiar nose, and a top 3 list of incredible behaviors in wild primates. An episode full of biology, animal behavior, and surprises you won't want to miss. #baboons #primates #podcast #biology Guest's social media:    / @lauracamonbio     / lauracamonbio   ➡️My links⬅️ Secondary channel:    / @elviajedemario   Instagram:   / mariodewonder   ➡️Other videos you might like⬅️ This is the life of a wolf:    • Así es la Vida de un Lobo | La vida de Banto🐺   ➡️Become a member⬅️ https://www.youtube.com/@Mariodewonde...
